Practice balance through repetitive imbalance.

Panayiotis Kokoras studied composition with Yannis Ioannides, Henri Kergomard, Kosta Varotsi, and classical guitar with Evangelos Asimakopoulos in Athens, Greece. In 1999, he moved to England for postgraduate study at the University of York where he completed his MA and PhD in composition with Tony Myatt. His works have been commissioned by institutes and festivals such as the Fromm Music Foundation (Harvard), IRCAM (France), Guggenheim (New York), MATA (New York), Gaudeamus (Netherlands), ZKM (Germany), IMEB (France), Siemens Musikstiftung (Germany) and have been performed in over 1000 concerts around the world. His compositions have received 98 distinctions and prizes in international competitions and have been selected by juries in more than 350 international calls for scores. He is president of the International Confederation of Electroacoustic Music (ICEIM-ICEM) and a founding member of the Hellenic Electroacoustic Music Composers Association (HELMCA) and from 2004 to 2012 he was a board member and president. Kokoras’ sound compositions develop functional classification and matching sound systems written on what he calls Holophonic Musical Texture. As an educator, Kokoras has taught at the Technological and Educational Institute of Crete, and, the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki (Greece). Currently, he is Regents Professor of Composition at the University of North Texas and director of the Center for Experimental Music and Intermedia (CEMI).

Morgan (he/him, USA/DE) is a practice-based music researcher whose output sits in the experimental field between academia and club music.

His work spans live electronic music, curation, lecture-workshops, panel discussions and the development of sample packs, tuning systems and other musical strategies to engage with materiality, diaspora, and the thoughtful resynthesis of new/traditional music.

Morgan's music productions draw from an archipelagic range of influences and intrinsic reverence for experimental computer dance music that can be described as playful, abrasive, promiscuous, feral and eclectic.

Last year, he released his debut album on Chinabot, which The Wire called "…a gently vaporous hulk of melancholia."

Morgan has performed at Cafe Oto, presented at CTM Festival, co-curated Soydivision's long-running Soy&Synth series, organized an online album co-release festival with folk-doom metal band Senyawa and 44 labels (mentioned in NYT, CDM), and was interviewed by Ableton about Latent Sonorities, a project that expands public access to sonic heritage for transcultural experimentation and research.

Sound Story Creator

 Hoyong Lee (b.Seoul, South Korea) is a composer, sound artist and writer.  He received his MM in electroacoustic and instrumental music composition from Hanyang University. Prior to that, he studied Korean Languages & Literature with Culture Contents at the same institution (BA 2010).

He was an Award of Distinction Winner in the Matera Intermedia Festival (MA/IN Festival 2016, Italy) and the 1st Prize of Best Music Winner in the 2nd X-Ray FM 'Radio Is Yours' Storytellig Contest (Portland, USA 2017), the Silver Prize Winner in Max Bruch International Music Competition 2025 for original composition. He was also nominated in Prix Luigi Russolo Awards 2025 in Italy as a shortlisted composer. 

 As an experimental soundstoryteller, his pieces are mostly based on the creative narrative structure blurring boundaries between noise, pitch and various tones of sounds under natural / electroacoustic environment. Also, he has explored various ways of storytelling techniques on media platforms. His creative sonic works span acousmatic, electroacoustic, radio art, experimental soundscape and acoustic (classical & contemporary) music.

 His pieces have been selected and presented in numerous world-renowned music festivals and international conference such as International Computer Music Conference (Ljubljana 2012, Perth 2013, Athens 2014, Texas 2015), International Sound Art Festival in Berlin(2012), San Francisco Sweet Thunder Music Festival(2014), Hwaum Chamber Orchestra 'The Manual Project'(commissioned by Hwaum Incorporated Association,South Korea, 2014), SMC (Athens 2014), ISSTC (Maynooth, Ireland 2014), MA/IN Festival (Matera, Italy in 2016), NYCEMF (USA in 2015, 2017), NWEAMO (Tokyo & San Diego USA in 2016, 2017), Vox Novus 60x60 project (Voice mix, Pianoforte Mix, Wave Farm Mix, Pacific Rim mix, Louisiana dance mix in 2012~2015) and Fifteen Minutes of Fame (2024~2025), The 2nd X-Ray FM Radio Is Yours Contest (Portland, USA 2016), ’Acoustic Frontiers’ CKCU FM 93.1 Broadcasting (Canada, 2021).

 Executing diverse intermedia projects, he published his autobiography book "소리, 세상을 담다(Sound, the World)" and he collaborated with Gwangju National Science Museum in Art-Science Festival as a composer and contents planner. His creative art world was introduced in ’Acoustic Frontiers’ CKCU FM 93.1 Broadcasting (Ottawa,Canada) and KBS 1 Radio (97.3MHz, Seoul) interview programs. Currently he is working as a project manager in Lee Consulting which offers creative planning and interdisciplinary ideas encompassing humanities, arts, and science and technology.

Michael (b. 1999) is a composer of acoustic, acousmatic and electroacoustic music. Internationally acclaimed for his implementation of electroacoustic and aleatoric concepts in both acoustic and electronic musical paradigms. At the core of his current music research, he explores the poly-holophonic gestural synchronicities and tensions between voices through quasi-procedural granulations, spectromorphological sonic sculpting, stochastic algorithmic modelling, machine-learning decisional procedures and generative synthesis.
 
In 2022, he was the Summer Undergraduate Research Fellow at Hong Kong Baptist University investigating the topic Motion Driven Human Artificial Intelligence Collaborative Music Composition and Performing System. He was selected for residency at the Hong Kong New Music Ensemble as part of the CoLab: Sonic-Visual Interplay project in 2023. At the São Paulo Contemporary Composers Festival in the Summer of 2024, Scrawling Palimpsest premiered with L’Arianna Quarteto. In the Luigi Nono Summer School at the Orpheus Institute (Ghent), he attended seminars and masterclasses extensively on Nono’s music and historically informed electronic practices by Jonathan Impett and Juan Parra Cancino.
 
Michael has studied composition extensively with Kenneth Hesketh, Alison Kay, Christopher Keyes and Stylianos Dimou, and has taken specialist IRCAM courses with Simone Conforti on electroacoustic music.
